Hijo Resources Corporation (HIJO) is owned and managed by one of the Philippines’ oldest and most influential business families, renowned for their profound yet understated contributions to the nation’s history. In 1763, a prominent Chinese merchant, Son-Tua, played a pivotal role in repelling British invaders from Manila, earning the gratitude of the Spanish royal family. As a reward, Son-Tua adopted the Spanish name Don Antonio Tuason, was granted royal land, and the Tuason family was elevated to Spanish nobility—the only Filipino family to receive this distinction. Since then, the Tuasons have played an integral role in shaping Philippine business history.
Atty. Jose "Boy" Tuason, Hijo's visionary founder, was a trailblazer in the 1960s, spearheading initiatives across various industries. His efforts focused on nation-building, Filipino empowerment, and the responsible stewardship of natural resources. Guided by his FELICE Principle, Hijo became a pioneer in the Philippine banana industry, setting the standard for innovation and sustainability.
Today, under the leadership and dedication of the second and third generations, Hijo remains a driving force for inclusive and sustainable economic development in Mindanao. The company continues to create opportunities across diverse sectors, including food security, industrial growth, property development, leisure, port and logistics, and renewable energy, reinforcing its commitment to progress and social impact.
